The Fourth Quadrant of Online Games

If this wasn't a game, and they were really in space, then this would have exploded into thousands of pieces like a balloon filled with boiling water.

It’s just that this is Delta after all, so the two people who flew out are just like two pieces of bread floating in the water, neither up nor down, without a trace, sinking into the void with inertia.

"You, how dare you!" The old man grabbed a gun and blasted your arm, his face was as white and wrinkled as a ball of paper soaked in water, "I have been waiting for this day for ten years, and you are not I don't understand what you ruined!"

Unlike NPCs, the Tierian, who is an access player, is now at the limit of his body, he can't say anything, he can only hold onto Qianqiu tightly, as if exhausting all his strength, and refuses to let go.

No matter how hard the old man struggled, he couldn't get rid of him, and even if he could get rid of him, it would be difficult to fly, and he couldn't get back to the speeding boat.

Qian Qiu looked at you with a single shot, and resentment appeared in those gray eyes.

"Why you, why is it you? I am about to succeed. I will become a hero who liberates mankind, a pioneer admired by all, and lead mankind to a new era. People will no longer suffer from birth, old age, sickness and death, and no conflicts of interest. , everyone, everyone will get eternal happiness. People will be grateful to me, worship me, regard me as the savior of the new world, and sing my greatness in the eternal time and endless universe..." He was fanatical As he spoke, he changed the subject and gritted his teeth again, "And you, you are always out of season like this, appearing when I don't need it, and doing things that are so stupid. You shouldn't have been born, maybe this is The biggest mistake of my life."

There was no response from the Tyrians.The signal of the brain-computer connection has been weak to the critical value, his consciousness is floating far faster than his body, and he is leaving the edge of Delta at any time, he looks at the opening and closing of Qian Qiulao's lips in front of his eyes, and seems to understand Every word, but no answer.

Qianqiu's skinny five fingers like eagle claws grabbed your neck and shot you, the blood-stained skin was quickly turning gray: "You will die here, squeezed mercilessly by the air pressure like a pile of useless waste Broken. Tell me, what made you make such a stupid move? All of this is yours, and my glory is also yours. As long as you are obedient and don’t do anything, you can get more than ordinary people stuff. Why...why are you so obedient?"

The Tyrian's eyes drifted to the ship that was going away, and his dry lips moved a few times.

"Because of him? Because of that man's child?" The old man laughed sharply, full of mockery, "You fell in love with him, and you actually fell in love with him! Child, what is love? Love is the greatest thing in the world. The rest. The reason why human beings are weak is because they have too many scruples and burdens in their hearts, they can’t be absolutely rational, and they can’t dedicate themselves to the only noble goal. Love is a wrong way, the temptation of the devil , it makes you weak, it makes you dizzy! I thought you could at least be smarter than this, you really disappoint me. You are like those stupid mediocre beings that need to be reinvented -"

His fingers became tighter and tighter.

The black mud wrapped around the spaceship in the distance seemed to move, and the Tyrian who had been looking in that direction frowned slightly.

A low growl of a dying beast came out of his throat, and he hugged Qianqiu even more tightly, as if in his drowsy mind, there was only this one thought left, he was not afraid of death, and he was not afraid of being hacked The end of the mud swallowing, I just want to drag the old man together, and prevent him from getting close to the boat and the person on the boat.

As if seeing the sudden light in his eyes, Qianqiu's hand paused for a moment.

Is it hesitation?Or was he shocked by his irrational and futile persistence?

At that short moment, the ship in the distance rushed into the wormhole, and disappeared without a trace in this corner of the universe together with the surging black mud on the ship.

The Tyrians watched the spaceship disappear, as if they had finally completed a mission, they let go of their hands, and their bodies turned into ashes in an instant like a collapsed clay sculpture.

The old man was in a daze, maintaining the posture of being entangled with the Tyrians the previous moment, as if he hadn't reacted.

"Dawn... the dawn of mankind, my dawn..." He murmured, raised his hand and wiped away the ashes floating around, watching them gradually turn into spots of light, disappearing before his eyes, his mouth uttered There was a series of hoarse low laughs.

The universe returned to its eternal silence, and the old man, who was laughing wildly, continued to drift into the deeper darkness alone.

"You really disappoint me."

When Xiang Hong woke up in the car, it was like a long dream. The man in the dream dropped this sentence in his ear extremely coldly.

When is it?

He was still very young at that time, and he vaguely heard the news that his parents were going to divorce from the uncles of the Tianlong Gang. The man side of his father.

He heard his father and Uncle Wu chatting, and knew that they were about to leave Tianlong Gang, so he rushed into the house and hugged his father tightly.

Just a child, he stumbled and expressed the purest wish in his heart, he hoped that his father would not leave.

Then the man said this to him.

Xiang Hong sat in the car for a few minutes, raised his hand and took off the connected device that was wet with cold sweat.

He glanced at the time and called Huang Xinzhi: "I need some good news."

"Mr. Xiang! Wait a minute, I really have two pieces of good news," the head of the technical department said excitedly with the speed of his hands. "The first one is that I found the crux of the logout system. From 10 Starting minutes ago, the system is slowly recovering, and now some players in DELTA have successfully logged out of the game. The second point is, the virus, I was at a loss for it just now, but it suddenly disappeared! It disappeared completely Two clean!"

Xiang Hong frowned: "Disappeared?"

"I don't dare to say that this is my credit. In fact, I don't even know which one of my attempts has worked." Huang Xinzhi was really frank and didn't mean to claim credit at all. "Just now I thought I There is no way to defeat it, and I feel ashamed to see you, but it just deleted itself, and suddenly disappeared without a trace."

Xiang Hong couldn't help thinking of the old man's last moment of hesitation.

It seems that the sea of ​​nothingness can indeed filter the darkness. While passing through the wormhole, this piece of code that ravaged Delta will be deleted.

"You continue to track down, you must find its root, and remove it from my game forever." He said feeling faintly flustered, "Also, check the sea of ​​nothingness, I want to know what kind of thing it is. thing."

After he finished speaking, he got out of the car and went straight to the top floor of FREE.

Sure enough, Wu Zheng did exactly what Wu Xuechun said, sitting quietly in his office without turning on the lights, as if he was waiting for someone in the dark.

Xiang Hong stepped in without hesitation.

"Is that you in the game just now?" He asked the person sitting in the chair.

A few strands of light from outside came in, enough for him to see Wu Zheng's face clearly.He only held a handmade book in his hand, not to mention the computer equipment, and he didn't even turn on the computer.

Xiang Hong's eyebrows unconsciously frowned even tighter.

Wu Zheng didn't answer his question either, but just said lightly: "Xiaohong, you are here. I have been waiting for you this night, waiting for you to rush through this door. I thought you would come sooner." earlier."

Xiang Hong raised his eyebrows: "Why, did I disappoint Uncle Wu again?"

"You've grown up a lot." Wu Zheng shook his head, and said this in the tone of an elder who really thinks about Xiang Hong, "If you really come up to me directly, maybe his plan will succeed. "

"Plan, Wu Zheng, I'm here to tell you this," Xiang Hong walked over, put his hands on Wu Zheng's desk, and looked at the man fearlessly in the dark, "shut down the DELTA server immediately .”

Wu Zheng asked calmly, "Otherwise?"

"Nothing else, DELTA has come to this day." Xiang Hong said coldly, "I asked Qian Yida to find that female reporter. This time should be enough for that reporter surnamed Yang to write a good article and tell Everyone, what you have done. Presumably many players have also felt the strangeness of this night, ten years, ten years, you have really given the players a big gift."

"It turns out that Yang Zihua was taken away by you, no wonder I can't find her." Wu Zheng smiled at him, "Xiao Hong, you have already thought about how to destroy Delta, what do you want from me?"

Xiang Hong sneered: "Did I ruin DELTA? Wu Zheng, who really ruined DELTA? When you decided to treat players as guinea pigs, you never thought about the destructive effects this would bring to DELTA." Hit?"

He moved closer to the man's calm face.

"It was you who destroyed DELTA. For your own selfish desires, you ignored others and abandoned DELTA," he gritted his teeth and said, "And I, I want to save it, and I want to save FREE. Regardless of those Innocent players, there are so many employees at FREE, which one doesn’t trust you all? You forced me to expose this scar on my body to the world. I also know it’s embarrassing, but FREE is already rotten, it's a mess in your hands, if I don't give myself a knife, how can I make it come back to life?"

Wu Zheng's expression finally changed slightly: "Xiaohong, you really changed... It's not right, you have always been such a child, and you will soften your heart for others. In any case, you won this game. Maybe even He also never thought that in the end, you are the biggest variable that ends his dream."

Xiang Hong's voice trembled, there were some things, even if he didn't want to believe them before, he couldn't escape at this moment: "He made you do these things."

"I want to help him complete it." Wu Zheng changed the phrase, a phrase that was not much different in essence, "Xiaohong, have you ever had any dreams?"

Xiang Hong: "..."

This old fox's rambling ability has really reached perfection, and he even wants to talk about dreams with him after all this time.

"I know you should. You are a very persistent person. You are very similar to your mother and that person." Wu Zheng smiled. Ah Huan turned around, I was fulfilling a mission inherited from my blood, I thought this would be enough until I met someone.

"On the surface, he looks like a gentleman who takes everything with a grain of salt, but I can feel a fire burning in his heart. The fire is so hot that it even infected me, a person with no ideals.

"Life is short for dozens of years. After I met him, I discovered that there is such a way of living. Many times, I even feel that I don't care what the ideal is, as long as it allows me to stay by his side and help him. Get it done. Are these things all right? I know they aren't. But I don't care anymore.

"He changed me, and I want to help him change the world. No matter how much it costs, this is my ideal, and it is also the greatest value of my life." He looked gently at the man in front of him. The young man said, "Xiaohong, your father is a great man, he has created a new era, but he also wants to make mankind go faster and further. I have never seen a man like him, he Like a machine that does not allow itself to make mistakes, it is constantly advancing towards a set goal, and everything he does is for that ultimate goal. Such a person may be ruthless in the eyes of others, He doesn't even have any moral values. However, for him, how could morality, an outmoded framework that binds human beings, be a factor to be concerned about?"

Xiang Hong stared at Wu Zheng's eyes shining in the darkness.

He knew that these were really the heartfelt words of his good Uncle Wu who was good at disguising, and it was precisely because of knowing this that he felt sympathy for this man from the bottom of his heart.

"However, you are wrong." He said firmly to Wu Zheng.
